What Are Simple Auditory Hallucinations?

“An auditory hallucination is anything you hear that isn't actually there. For those with severe schizophrenia, you may be hearing voices that are so real you may convince yourself that a special voice is talking to you. For those with anxiety, it tends to not be that severe. In general, anxiety doesn't cause you to hear a steady flow of voices. Instead, common types of auditory hallucinations include: Beeping, High-pitched noise, Random noise, Pop and unclear noise.

How to Tell Your Auditory Hallucinations Are Not More Serious

The question on everyone's mind is how to tell if your hallucinations are not a sign of you going crazy. The first thing to realize is that your ability to ask yourself that question is a strong indicator. Those that hallucinate because of more serious mental illness lose touch with reality, and often have little to no idea that their hallucinations are hallucinations at all. Only a psychiatrist can truly diagnose your hallucinations. Those that have serious concerns should contact one immediately. But rest assured if you have other anxiety symptoms and your auditory hallucinations are something you notice as out of the ordinary, there is a strong chance you simply have anxiety.”
